Network operators often find it necessary to mediate a variety of protocols transported over several interfaces. This can be caused by several reasons, such as industry mergers, necessitating the integration of legacy equipment onto a single platform for easier management. Implementing a single system for network site management means connecting diverse devices, disparate systems, and transporting alarms and other important data to a common management infrastructure.

Switch and Remote from Kentrox provide protocol mediation and conversion, enabling operators to:

• Migrate legacy equipment management to IP and current OSS systems
• Collect remote alarms from all site equipment, regardless of manufacturer or protocol
• Monitor and control disparate systems throughout the network with an integrated management platform
